yea im also 6'1 and i have a problem with pedels, my knees are bent and hit the bottom of my steering column, and when i take it back, my hands are a lil uncomfortable,

i ran into a problem, im welding my sparcos with their rails onto chopped parts from my old brackets, thats not the problem, i now dont have a lap belt, which i usually put on 4 track or jus messin around, i dunno i think ill weld the buckle part that clicks onto the sparco railing, buts its gonna be weird and i dont wanna cough up 200-300 for 4 pts

im not overly tall @ 6' but i sit upright when on track (as you should). if you are leaning back in your stock seat you might lose a TON more headroom putting a bucket in the car.
I do lean back slightly, because if not my head will be uncomfortably close to the ceiling, but when I say new seat I ment something that still reclines, just more aggresive, something like an srt-4 seat with the same locking seat belt design. I really like that set up. Im going for more of a daily functionability, with the occasional track day philosophy. Thanks a lot, Im really beggining to like this forum, and I find new things every day that I can learn from, thanks a bunch.
